My guy's too clingy!

"I just started dating this guy who I've liked for a year. We've been going out for close to two months, and I'm starting to notice that he is really immature and clingy. What should I do?"

Isn't it funny how you can be crushing so hard on someone, but then when you finally get the guy, some qualities can come out that make you wonder, Why did I like him in the first place?!? But that's the point of dating — to see if that person is a good fit for you. And apparently your guy isn't. If you're really annoyed with him (which it sounds like you are), we suggest ending it now before it gets any more serious. Be honest and up front with him by saying that you really like being friends with him, but you just don't think you're a good match for each other romantically. It's totally awkward and hard to break up with someone — we're not going to sugarcoat it — but it's for the best.
